Citi Will Launch New Strata Card
Citi revealed today that it will soon launch a new Citi Strata Card which will be a replacement for the Citi Rewards+ card. The new card has no annual fee and offers more opportunities to earn ThankYou Points. It will also have a welcome bonus of 30,000 points, but two features of the Citi Rewards+ card are going away. Let’s see the details.
The Offer
- Earn 30,000 ThankYou points after spending $1,000 within the first three months of account opening.
- No Annual Fee
Existing Citi Rewards+ cards will automatically convert to the new Citi Strata Card on July 20, 2025. New customers will be able to apply for the card later this year.
About the Card
- 5x points on Hotels, Car Rentals and Attractions booked on Citi Travel
- 3x points at Supermarkets
- 3x points on Select Transit and at Gas and EV Charging Stations

The Round Up and 10% Points Back features of the Citi Rewards+ card are going away:
- For customers that opened their Rewards+ card before July 20, 2024, the Round Up and 10% Points Back features will no longer be available as of July 20, 2025 when the new Citi Strata Card benefits go into effect.
- Those who opened their Rewards+ card after that date (from July 20, 2024 through July 19, 2025), will continue to have access to Round Up (which rounds to the nearest 10 points on every purchase) and 10% Points Back (on the first 100K ThankYou Points redeemed per year) until July 19, 2026.
